Title: Method and apparatus for remote measurement of vibration and properties of objects
Inventor: SEDUNOV NIKOLAY
IPC: G01N29/50
Filed: 2000-08-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) is provided which employs phase or amplitude modulated electromagnetic probing waves (20) (in optical or microwave frequency ranges or both) emitted toward a vibrating object (8). The optical  and/or microwave probing signals (20) remotely irradiate an object (8) of interest. The object (8) reflects and/or scatters the probing wave (20) towa rd a receiver (22). The reflected/scattered modulated signal (24) is received with a remote sensor (receiver) (22). Vibration causes additional phase modulation to the probing wave (20). At the receiving end, the signal is demodulated to extract and analyze the vibration waveform (26, 28). The present invention can be utilized for nondestructive testing, monitoring of technological processes, structural integrity, noise and vibration control, mine detection, etc.

Abstract: A laser range finder (LRF) (20) is used to identify an aircraft (12) approaching a gate. The LRF (20) is directed at the aircraft (12), and from the echoes, a profile is derived and compared to known profiles. To distinguish among aircraft (12) with similar profiles, the LRF is directed at a volume in which a feature such as an engine is expected and at another volume in which the engine is not expected. The echoes from the two volumes are used to determine whether the engine is in its expected location. If so, the aircraft (12) is identified as the correct type and is allowed to dock at the gate (16). Otherwise, the aircraft (12) is stopped. The nose height can be used as yet another identifying criterion.

Patent CA-2389948-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WARD ROBERT R
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 2000-11-02
Abstract: In one embodiment, a scalable cross-connect switching system and its corresponding method perform a bridging operation by splitting the incoming light signal into at least a first bridged light signal and a second bridged  light signal. The first bridged light signal has a power level equal to or substantially greater than a power level of the second bridged light signal.  The disproportionate power levels provide low-loss bridging. Light signals based on these bridged light signals are routed through multiple switch fabrics which provide redundancy in case of failure by switching within the switch fabric. To detect failures, a test access port is configured for monitoring multiple optical paths.
